10 Oreo cookies

2 tablespoons butter, melted

9 ounces marshmallows

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 ounces (4-5 cups) Rice Krispies Cereal

7 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped

24 caramel candies, unwrapped (duh!)

1/4 cup cream

6 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips

4 tablespoons cream

More Oreo cookies for top (4-6), broken up or chopped

Line a 9x9 inch pan with foil.  Spray lightly with cooking spray.  Set aside.

In bowl of food processor, grind Oreos finely.  Add melted butter and combine together.  Sprinkle into pan and flatten evenly.  Set aside.

Melt marshmallow and butter in large saucepan or microwave safe bowl and stir until combined well.  Add cereal and mix well.  Fold in the 7 chopped cookies.  Spread in pan over Oreo layer.  Press down evenly using a potato masher sprayed with cooking spray--works great! 

In small saucepan, melt caramels and cream together until smooth and gooey.  Pour over Rice Krispies.  In small microwaveable bowl (or small saucepan), heat cream to just boiling.  Pour over chocolate chips in a heat proof bowl.  Let sit for a minute, then stir with a wire whisk until smooth and glossy.  Spread over caramel layer.  Sprinkle with broken/chopped Oreos.  Put in refrigerator until chocolate layer is hardened and set.  Remove from pan using foil edges.  Cut into desired size pieces.
